Automatic writing is a channeling technique to let your higher self or another entity to use your hands to write message or information. The phenomena was investigated by psychologists during the 1800's and 1900's according to their theory automatic writing material has his source in the subconscious. This may explain that often the material contains misunderstanding and errors. Jung once said that the Tibetan an high entity channeled by Alice Bailey was Bailey higher self and her waking personality was the low self. While there is in most of the cases a connection between an entity and the channeler, they are often fragment of the same larger entity. This is not always the case especially in the high form of channeling but in the case of automatic writing, I will say that this is not an high form of channeling and you can except to gather information from different part of your personality , from your sub-personalities.

They are two forms of automatic writing, one of them is not really automatic, in the advanced form the recipient receives the information in his mind and immediately write it sometimes the recipient change words for better understanding. In that form, the recipient is in altered state of consciousness but has control over everything, there is basically no automatism, with this form people can channel all sort of being or entities and this is what Alice Bailey used to do. Now, the pure form of automatic writing demand to fully surrender.
